Sort of a Brendan Fraser weekend . This action movie which is in 3-D came out on July 11th and with all the other movies this summer I just today got around to seeing it (and only in 2-D). You can tell by some of the shots that they were made for the 3-D effect. I guess I have been hesitant to see this movie because the 1864 Jules Verne sci-fi story is one of his least feasible in science. I saw the 1959 movie with James Mason, Pat Boone and Diane Baker and even as a 15-year-old I had problems with how the center of the earth was lit by some electrical gas at the top of a huge cave that supported an ocean and dinosaurs. I also recently watched a TV movie version of the story with Rick Shroder (who hasn't aged as well as his contemporary child-star Jason Bateman) and still had problems w... | | Read Entire Entry |

Dropped only 23.7% this weekend. That is really awesome. Must be the IMAX factor. I like Frasier. I hope this will help The Mummy 3. It will need all the help it can get. I don;t know a single person who went to see this movie. It must be those families they are courting. | | Static Link |

Everyone needs to give Brendan Fraser a break. Most of his movies are good fun. I've also heard that he's one of the nicest actor you'll ever meet. Anyways, I just got back from seeing this at the theater in 3D. They give you some really cool Elvis Costello-esque ... | | Read Entire Entry |

That's the part that worths the money. The story itself is quite in the 50's. Trailer | | Static Link |

I saw very few ads for this movie. I guess the studio just wanted to get it out, and hoped to make some money before The Dark Knight came out. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: dellamorte dellamore at July 3, 2008, 6:55 am | | Topic: Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D Forum: JoBlo | | I'm interested in this , the effects look a bit silly but they still look great . I hope i can find a theater that has the 3d version , if not the regular version should still be a good time . Maybe i'm wrong , but are they going to implement more elements from the book now that they have the ability too ? | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Bourne101 at July 2, 2008, 8:30 pm | | Topic: Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D Forum: JoBlo | | Directed by Eric Brevig Written by Michael D. Weiss, Jennifer Flackett, Gavin Scott, D.V. DeVincentis, Paul Chart, and Mark Levin Genre: Action/Adventure Tagline: Same planet. Different world. Plot Outline: Trevor is used to being laughed at. He's the type of guy whose colleagues use finger-quotes when describing him as a "scientist." But the joke's about to be on those guys, because apparently the center of the Earth contains fish and dinosaurs and stuff! When Trevor's brother disappears, the only clues to finding him are the notes he scrawled in a copy of Jules Verne's classic adventure novel. Trevor takes a leap of faith and journeys to the uncharted worlds beneath the surface in search of his missing brother. Starring: Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson, Anita Briem, Seth Meyers, Jean Michel Paré, and Jane Wheeler Rated PG for intense adventure action and some scary moments. Runtime: 92 minutes Looks like a lot of fun, and has been getting solid reviews. I'll definitely check it out. Although, I s... | | Read Entire Entry |
